* LOCATION: YHC-3E Yinghouchong, pg. 134
* THE ERROR: "Pelipa Zenochka is a MechWarrior operating with the Capellan Confederation’s Second Liao Guards, which captured Hall in early 3049.  The appearance of her Yinghuochong, a brand-new piece of Confederation hardware"  I highly doubt that her Yinghouchong was a brand-new piece of Confederation hardward in 3049.
* THE CORRECTION:   I highly doubt that her Yinghouchong was a brand-new piece of Confederation hardware in 3049.  Should be 3149, instead.

PDF

New Tech, New Upgrades -- p. 224, Cerberus MR-7K entry.

The Cerberus MR-V2 is stated to have been upgraded to this variant in the 3020s.  The MR-V2 was introduced in 3054 so I assume the date should be the much later.  Introductory date of ABA armor is 3114.

Change 3020s to 3120s.

location, p220, Castrum entry, second column, last paragraph under Deployment

erroneous text:
"Prior to the implementation of Fortress Republic, Castrums of the Border Fleets were discreetly recalled to Prefecture X, ostensibly for maintenance. Had Clarion Call not worked as well as it did, the Castrums would have been the Republic's last line of defense."

corrected text:
"Prior to the implementation of Fortress Republic, Castrums of the Border Fleets were discreetly recalled to Prefecture X, ostensibly for maintenance. Had the Fortress not worked as well as it did, the Castrums would have been the Republic's last line of defense."

reason:
Clarion Call was the Blakist name for the theoretical use of a SuperHPG to cause a Sphere-wide communications blackout. It is distinct from the Fortress Republic effect.

I'm not sure if it's Errata, but many of the entries blatantly suggest quirks which are not represented in the technical information.

I could start hunting these down (the Kodiak II) is one example IIRC, but does this count? Could be a fluff-stats conflict.
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

This sentence is just hanging there. It is lacking context to make it make sense. It can be removed without damaging the entry. Or words could be added to finish the statement.

The Error: Engine listed as a Fuel Cell with a rating of 95 and a mass of 13. Engine type and mass with vehicle type would suggest a rating of 230.
The Correction: Change fuel cell rating to 230

The Location: Page 72, Hadur Fast Support Vehicle

The Error(s):

Quote
Armor: Compound VM22 Ferro-Fibrous

Quote
The Hadur currently has two alternate configurations. The first replaces standard ferro-fibrous armor with reactive armor, [...]

However, the Hadur is statted on the following page as though it has standard armor, with six tons of armor providing 96 points of protection (as opposed to 115 points if it were six tons of ferro-fibrous)

The Fix: Either change the fluff to indicate it has standard armor, or increase the Hadur's armor to 115 points and distribute the excess as seen fit

p. 218 Trutzburg, Notable Unit

"Landing near the capital city of Port St. William...Necessity did eventually succumb...[she] helped hold the Falcons back long enough for Roderick Steiner’s assault group to reach the area and save the capital city."
Issue: Port. St William fell to the Falcons within the first ten hours on 15 Feb (The Anvil, ch. 3 "10 Hours Later…The fighting for Port St. William had finished two hours earlier.") and the relief force would not arrive on planet until either 5 March (ch. 5 "7 MARCH 3148...They had landed two days ago") OR 27 February (Shattered Fortress p. 27). 27 Feb is likely correct as they departed Vorzel on 18 Feb (ch. 4), spent ~7 days charging at Tsinan (176 hours=7.3 days per "not considered canon" Tamar Rising), 2 days from pirate point to landfall.
Correction: Substitute some other event that fits timeline. Leutnant-General Francine Ross and the 17th Arcturan Guards fought ferociously for nearly a month against seven Clusters, lets give her some praise. Replace with "Necessity did eventually succumb...[she] helped hold the Falcons back long enough for Leutnant-General Francine Ross to prepare several costly ambushes throughout Port St. William that bled the invaders."

Page 212 (also TRO 3145 p. 52)
Issue: Both nap of the earth and nape of the earth are used in this entry
Correction: Replace per style guide, nape seems to be the preferred.

Disregard. I found my own error

Page 31 Marten Scout VTOL

Design with listed stats is 1.5 tons underweight. The listed engine weight of 6 tons should provide movement of 14/21, which corresponds more closely to KPH listed in entry on the prior page.

Fix: Increase movement to 14/21

Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.
